It has already been over five months since the Huawei Mate X was officially unveiled; however, it is still not released to the public.

Huawei admitted that the phone turned out to be more challenging than originally anticipated. And they are still perfecting the Mate X to meet the company’s strict quality requirements. This gives an impression of back-pedaling on Huawei’s end. But if you look at it from another perspective, it also appears Huawei takes customer satisfaction and quality seriously.

Mate X is a project in which Huawei has invested a lot. And according to the company, Galaxy Fold’s release doesn’t matter to Huawei; because Huawei only hopes that customers can get a quality product when they finally get it. Furthermore, the company also added that the product will not go on the market as long as it doesn’t pass the company’s strict quality requirements.
